Well of course there is abstract art... but I've just never been good at any of that.. I do love photography tho.. I just haven't had the financial means to try much yet.  I def plan to explore photography more tho.  I'm also thinking of trying to write some.. see how that goes.  Laying and staring at clouds sounds fun and relaxing.. maybe I will try to do that this wk before it gets too much colder where I am.... sadly it's almost winter :(

EXACTLY.

Writing about your pictures will be a great way to express your creativity. Maybe you could write a poem or short story about a picture or sequence of pictures. You are definitely in the right state of mind to do so. I don't see the financial strains being a problem for you too much longer, but don't go out and blow all your money on a lot of equipment just yet, I think you will be satisfied with the way things are going to go for you soon.. You know the feeling you get after succeeding at something you have been trying at real hard for a while?? I keep getting that when I see your pictures.. Keep your chin up kiddo, things are going to change for you soon.

Makes me almost cry seeing something positive about my finances.. I SO hope you are right... it has been really really hard for awhile now... but even more than the money issues my biggest stress has been about career path... I absolutely despise my job I have now... and I have such a desire and drive that tells me that a "normal" job is not for me... I hate working for people I really want to work for myself... I love freedom without schedules and I desperately want to travel the world... I am searching so hard to find what it is I'm really good at that I can do for myself, possibly online, and doesn't hinder travel... I have recently found out that I am receiving an inheritance which will help me a lot... but it's not enough to live that long on especially after paying off all my debts... so I'm still searching for that job/career that I will love and be able to make enough money at to live and travel... I have found cheap ways to travel.. but I still need some money of course.  SO I def hope u are correct and maybe the success will be me finally figuring out what I'm happiest doing job-wise!
